So here is the first time I have read anything as to when each 2015 model will be out and what changes there will be. Not a whole lot of information on the QX60, but at least there is something out so everyone's questions can be answered!

Hi Matt,


Thanks for the sharing the information. It confirms the new colors of Hermosa Blue, Graphite Shadow and Majestic White that was listed on one site a month ago as new color options.

I'm curious as to what the "enhanced D-step shift logic" does in regards to the electronically controlled CVT.




Thanks,


Eric

--- D-Step Shift Logic -----
Automotive News reports Nissan will introduce its D-Step Shift logic CVT software to more vehicles for the 2015 model year, including the Versa, Versa Note and Pathfinder. The software, already in the 2014 Rogue and 2013 Altima four-pot, helps the CVT act more like a traditional automatic when it comes to shifting, emphasis on “act.”

On board vehicles like the new Versa, the D-Step will prompt the CVT to jump ahead a gear around 4,000 rpm, creating a brief drop in driving power while lending a sense of gears changing, all to ease Nissan owners’ concerns that their vehicle’s transmission is somehow broken due to the lack of a notable gear change. More models will receive D-Step in 2016.

Glad I have a 2014... I don't want this silliness!

Ditto. To my surprise, I really enjoyed the shiftless CVT when testing driving both the QX60 vs MDX on several occasions just before my purchase of the QX60.

I like how catering to morons is now a 'feature' to be marketed.

what issues or concerns do you guys want them to address in the 2015 model?

i think there are several other threads discussing suggested changes to the qx60. my two biggest are power and better headlights. the xenons on the qx60 have noticeably lower output than those on other competitors. better wind noise/road din suppression would be nice too.

I've seen that other car makers have started using LED headlights, maybe Infiniti will use them on these, would you want them?

Any idea how the Majestic White different from Moonlight White? I Googled but could not find any pics.

I had LED headlights in 2 of my previous vehicles and they were fine for me.

My guess is the majestic white is much more matte than it is now. Most likely taking out the pearl is my guess.
